I had juverderm injected in my upper thin lip. I told the doctor that I only wanted a little and just so my upper lip looked a bit fuller. He asked if I was happy with the fullness of my cupids bow area and I said yes, I only wanted the sides to match the rest of it. So that was Tuesday morning, it's Thursday now and I feel like my upper lip is still way bigger than my bottom lip. Am I still swollen? I like the shape but I don't like how the cupids bow part of my lip hangs over. Will it go down?

Answer: Juvederm - will swelling go down
It's normal to experience a little swelling 2-3 days after Juvederm is injected. However, it's hard to picture what's going on with your lip. I would give it a week or so to see where all the product settles. Regardless, if you are unhappy with the way it looks, you should go back to you doctor and have him/her take a look. It may be something simple to fix with a little touch up. Worse case senario there is medicine that can dissolve the product.

Answer: Lip swelling after Juvederm injections
Swelling is expected for the first 2-3 days after Juvederm injection, and may last slightly longer in some people.
It is too early to judge what the end result will be. Ice the area for 5 minutes 2-3 times a day for the next 3 days.
Most likely the swelling will go down. If it doesn't, the Juvederm can be dissolved with hyaluronidase, but give it some time, first.
